The Devil in Her Make Up

I was living it up I was out on the town,

I wasn’t thinking ‘bout her ‘cause she wasn’t around.

Then Temptation started checkin’ me out

And it wiggled on over.

She had the booty wrapped up in a skin-tight dress.

A pirate set on sinking my relationship

Now, she’s showing me her treasure chest

That I’m ready to plunder.

She said, “Come on, let’s go, I’ll take ya’ down under.

What your girl don’t know, ain’t ever gonna’ hurt her.

Can I take you home, and get away with murder?” 

Honey, here we go ‘round again. Uh oh, uh oh, oh!   

Chorus

Let’s rock, the evening’s young

I couldn’t stand straight but I jumped the gun.

We can have some fun but you gotta’ play dumb.

Yeah, my will is weak and she’s coming on strong.

So, I thought for a second then I downed a shot

And I figured I’d start where the party don’t stop.

‘Cause there’s heaven in her eyes

But I’ll settle for the devil in her make up.

Her bedroom was a-spinnin’, so I spent the night.

She handed me an apple and I took a bite.

Now everything that’s wrong feels right

And I think that I love her.

The morning hit my headache like a ton of bricks.

I rolled over to hold her, she had already split,

Then I thought of that familiar kiss

And what I’m gonna tell her.

And my friends all said, “You’re heading straight for trouble”

But you’re always single when you’re seeing double.

And she talks a game that’s anything but subtle.

Honey, here we go ‘round again. Uh oh, uh oh, oh!

Chorus

And I woke up with her number on a napkin.

What you can’t remember never really happened.

When the voice of reason’s only speaking Latin

Honey, here we go ‘round again. Uh oh, Uh oh, oh!

Chorus
